 const parameters = {
      follow: `${config.TWITTER_USER_ID}`,  // The ID of the user it should follow, In this bots case its @FarCryGame
    };

    const stream = Tclient.stream("statuses/filter", parameters)
      .on("start", response => console.log("Starts checking for tweets"))
        .on("data", tweet => {
             const TwitterEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
               .setColor("ORANGE")
               .setTitle(`${tweet.user.name}`)
               .setDescription(`${tweet.text}`)
               .setURL(`https://www.twitter.com/Timtendo12/Status/` + `${tweet.id}`)
               .setAuthor(`${tweet.user.name}, posted a new tweet!`, 'https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1286368132487995392/p-CyXKSj_400x400.jpg', 'https://www.twitter.com/Timtendo12');
            client.channels.cache.get(`${config.TWITTER_CHANNEL_ID}`).send({embeds: [TwitterEmbed]})
        })

Currently I have this code, It works. However, when someone else retweets, shares etc etc any tweet from the one defined in the following parameters it also outputs them retweeting them. How do you filter this so it will only output when the defined follower posts a tweet?
